Features & Capabilities

Swar Meter is an advanced yet simple Chrome extension designed for enthusiasts of Indian classical music, including Hindustani and Carnatic styles. It provides real-time visualization of 12 musical notes (Swaras) through your microphone, making it an excellent tool for practicing saragam, alankar, aakar, and pitch control.

Ideal for vocalists, hobbyists, and instrumentalists, the app offers visual feedback during riyaz (practice sessions) and helps in tuning instruments specifically tailored for Indian music modes. While it does not record or playback music, its live visualization feature enhances the learning and practicing experience by providing instant visual note identification.

User Reviews

Overall, Swar Meter is praised for its simplicity and usefulness for tuning and learning Indian-to-Western note mappings across instruments, plus beginner-friendly interface and practice support. Users highlight its ability to tune guitars, flutes, bansuri, and translate swaras, with a clear, accessible UI. However, several reviews report issues after updates, including bugs, reduced responsiveness, and a moving/oversensitive needle that sometimes jumps to wrong notes. A few users also wish for an iOS version to enable cross-platform use. Despite instability complaints, many users appreciate it when bugs are fixed and continue to rely on it for practice.

Pros

Simple, beginner-friendly interface.
Effective tuning and translation between Indian swaras and Western notes for instruments like guitar, flute, bansuri.
Useful for practice and learning scales/swaras; supports daily reyaz.
Helpful visual feedback (waveform) that indicates tuning progress.

Cons

Bugs and reduced reliability after updates, with occasional non-functioning features.
Needle/pointer instability—oversensitivity and jumping to wrong notes.
Lack of an iOS version; Android-only limitation.

Recent reviews

Finally found a chromatic tuner that works and isn't over complicated. The options in settings are very good so you can switch off unnecessary features. Sensitivity can be a bit of an issue at first but once set not a problem. Used this for tuning my rebuilt sitar which has been sitting around for the last 10 years. Haven't noticed any bugs yet that other reviewers have reported. Works well on my guitars as well, especially the 12 string. Very impressed.
